It is the country's largest department, with an area of 91,669 km2, but its population is only 45,617 (2002 census). The department includes most of the German Mennonite colonies of Fernheim, Menno, and Neuland. The capital is Filadelfia. Other towns are General Eugenio A. Garay, Doctor Pedro P. Pea, and Mariscal Estigarribia. In 1992 the departement Nueva Asuncin was merged with Boquern, effectively recreating the departement as of 1945 when it was split. Also in 1992 the capital was moved from Doctor Pedro P. Pea to the current one. The department is divided in 3 districts: - Doctor Pedro P. Pea
- General Eugenio A. Garay
- Mariscal Jos Flix Estigarribia
